Did nobody read today’s Muncie Star? It talked about working on Whitman’s extension! Hard to believe. This means he will be here next year, possibly further!!! If he thinks changing his name is going to throw us off his trail he’s sadly mistaken.

Thanks for pointing out the reference. I had read the first few paragraphs of the article, gotten bored with the usual university happy talk, and stopped reading. Here is the exact wording from the article: "She said head football coach Mike Neu’s contract extension is being worked out and feels that it will be announced this summer. She said, when it comes to head men’s basketball coach James Whitford’s contract, that they’re having conversations about a contract extension as well — in addition to saying Whitford is anticipated to be coaching at BSU this upcoming season." I find it pretty disappointing and if they are discussing an extension, it's probably a deal that gets done eventually. The only weird part was "Whitford is anticipated to be coaching at BSU this upcoming season". WTF, is there a possibility he will not be? Don't get my hopes up Beth! Good God, getting rid of him during the summer would be the most incompetent move ever. Following BSU's Administration is like watching the Keystone Cops.

Good God, getting rid of him during the summer would be the most incompetent move ever. Following BSU's Administration is like watching the Keystone Cops. I mean, having a "conversation" about an extension can also mean this: Whitford: "Can I have an extension?" Goetz: "No." Whitford: "Please?" Goetz: "I said no." That definitely qualifies as a "conversation" about an extension. And throwing in that last little nugget that she anticipates him to be coaching this year sounds like, "Look, we can't afford to buy him out, so buckle up and get ready for a program rebuild after we cut him loose once the season is mercifully over." That said, I'm fully prepared to hear that he's been offered a lifetime contract making him the highest paid coach in the MAC, because who are we kidding here?

If he gets an extension it essentially means BSU has abandoned the program. Every remaining fan should then do the same.

Lead the charge. Go for it!

Lead the charge. Go for it! Can posts be "apoplectic" if they wind-up being accurate ? This is all pretty amusing coming from the guy who continually pushes the narrative that BSU and all mid-majors "have no chance, so why try".

Apoplectic and apocalyptic are two different words. Are you confusing them?

Apoplectic and apocalyptic are two different words. Are you confusing them? No, "apoplectic" infers irrationalness and emotionally motivated. The only person confused is you. Most of your posts are platitudinal and based on some sort of personal delusional framework. When pushed you can rarely defend anything you say.

Apoplectic - "overcome with anger; extremely indignant'
That is a rather good description of your posts full of invective and insult. Hardly descriptive of my calm demeanor.
On further reflection, perhaps your apoplectic posts are apocalyptic in the rather consistent dire end of the world consequences you regularly predict for each recruit, game and season, though.
Can we agree this whole thread is a bit apoplectic and apocalyptic and reach a grand compromise?
